I started training Dash for running contacts on a strip of carpet, then on a 12' board flat on the ground, then the 12' board with one end on a brick. This spring, my friend Julie loaned me her cool contact trainer, with two 6' ramps and a 2' middle board. So that was an improvement, at 14' long. I eventually started replacing the down ramp with my 12' board, making the whole thing 20'. And yesterday, I got the idea of using plastic sawhorses to put everything together into a 26' dogwalk. It's still not the 36' regulation type, but it's perfect for practicing in the yard and relatively easy to move around.

Here, I'm seeing how Dash's speed changes if I give a DW command only, a forward command, or left/right turn commands.
